Milk, the secret ingrediant

Every time I pick up a bottle of our Ocheesee creamery milk, I think I'm about to star on the Iron Chef, and it's the secret ingredient.
As you probably know by now, we try to commit to as local food as we can get, and the milk and cream we use for our whipped cream and milk shakes are no exception. Our Dairy comes from Bluntstown, and is delivered on Fridays by the farmer himself.
Now I can hear you say, I get good milk at the supermarket, what makes this milk different? This milk is pasteurized at low temperature. Most commercial milks are brought almost to a boil for 30 seconds, and then quickly cooled off. This milk is brought up to 147 degrees and kept there for three hours. It takes longer, but provides the same food safety as the high temperature method, but without breaking down all the proteins that make a milk shake smooth and creamy. The milk is also not homogenized. Just look at that cream on the top of the bottle. The proteins and milk solids are left alone, and this makes a better milk shake. Their cream is made the same way, and it's the secret of our amazing whipped cream. Of course all this milk comes from grass fed local Jersey cows and they are known for their amazing cream and milk.
So come to Lofty, have a Milk Shake (it has this milk in it and this cream on top) or just a cup of coffee with cream, or a Sundae topped with whipped cream, and you will taste why we go the extra mile for this milk. At a soda fountain, the ice cream must be the best, but so must everything else.
See you at Lofty Pursuits. Open until 10pm every day but Sundae, on Sundae we're open until 8pm.
P.S. Our party room is now available for rental and group use. Have you next party or gathering at Lofty Pursuits.

Fun things on display at Lofty Pursuits.

There is a lot of history on display at Lofty Pursuits. Look around at our vintage toys. We have a yo­yo museum and a collection of vintage yo­yo award patches and trophies. You can also find our original Frisbie pie tin. This returnable pie tin is what was tossed around and later became the throwing disc we all know. Also make sure you look at our display of Victorian candy making machines and molds. Check out the Haiku vending machine, poetry for a quarter. Also check out our non­pay phone. It's an original 1920's payphone that has been rewired to play recordings and let kids experience a rotary phone. There are recordings for all sorts of famous phone numbers. Try calling Jenny, James Bond or Alfred Hitchcock.
